Positioning the Projector

For projector positioning, see the figures below. The projector should be set horizontally to the flat screen.

Notes:

• The brightness in the room has a great influence on picture quality. It is recommended to limit ambient lighting in order to obtain the best image.

• The values shown below are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

Adjustable Feet

Projection angle can be adjusted up to 10.0 degrees with the adjustable feet.

Lift the front of the projector and push the feet lock

latches on the projector. Release the feet lock latches to lock the adjustable

feet and rotate the adjustable feet to adjust the position and tilt.

To retract the adjustable feet, lift the front of the

projector and push and undo the feet lock latches. Keystone distortion of the projected image can be corrected with the remote control or menu operation. (pp.22, 46)

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-120 V or 200-240 V AC. This projector automatically selects the correct input voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system. Consult your authorized dealer or service station if you are not sure of the type of power being supplied. Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning the projector on. (See pages 14-16 for connection)

CAUTION

The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.

 Note:

Unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use.

When this projector is connected to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in Stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

Installation

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector.

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet requirement of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used. If supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.
